Apple Paper: Calculator Keystroke For The HP-10BII

CALCULATOR KEYSTROKES FOR THE HP-10BII
[pic]******* NOTE: The HP calculators come from the factory with the PMTS/YR set to 12. Change this setting to 1 PMT/YR by going to #6 below. Change this setting before you do any of the time value of money problems!!!! You only have to change the PMT/YR setting one time! ********* GENERAL: Note that every HP-10BII calculator key has two functions, the main ones are in WHITE LETTERS and a second function in ORANGE. To access the second function, you simply enter the ORANGE key first, and then press the key to access the function in ORANGE. There is also a PURPLE button, which accesses some statistical functions that we will not be using in this class. In the examples below, the slash symbol: / is used to separate keystrokes 1. SETTING THE NUMBER OF DECIMAL PLACES:

Orange Key / = Key (DISP) / Number of desired decimal places Examples:Orange Key / = / 2 (to set display to two places, good for bond prices, e.g. $975.42) Orange Key / = / 4 (to set display to four places, good for ex-rates, e.g. $1.5074 / £) NOTE: Setting to two decimal places is not appropriate when calculating answers involving certain percentages or interest rates. For example, suppose your answer is an interest rate: .0851, or 8.51%. If your calculator is set to two decimal places, it will round your answer to .09 or 9%, which is almost .5% away from 8.51%. Be sure in this case that you set your calculator to display three or four decimal places, since 9% would not qualify for full credit when the true answer is 8.51%!! With experience, you will get used to changing the decimal display to the appropriate setting, based on the problem.

2. CLEARING THE CALCULATORTo clear the calculator display (screen) only, use the C key (bottom left corner). This will NOT clear any of the financial registers, memory registers, or statistical registers. To clear EVERYTHING (all registers), Enter the ORANGE KEY and then the C key to access the "C ALL" function.

3. PERCENTAGE CHANGE:
General format: A variable goes from X1 to X2, what is the percentage change in X? First number (X1) / INPUT / Second Number (X2) / Orange Key / % Key (to access %CHG)

5. TO CHANGE THE SIGN OF A NUMBER
The + / - key will change the sign of a number.
Example: To enter $950 as a negative number for PV:
950 / +/- / PV

6. TO SET PAYMENTS PER YEARThe factory default setting is 12 PMTS / YR. You should change this setting to 1 PMT per Year for this class, using the P/YR key (in orange below the PMT key)! Example: 1 / Orange Key / PMT Key (Sets Payments/YR to 1) Most of the problems in this class will be 1 PMT/YR.

7. BEG/END OF PERIODSThe BEG/END key (in Orange below the MAR key for the HP-10BII) will change PMTS/CFs from End-of-Period to Beginning-of-Period To set to BEG of period: a) Orange Key / MAR (You will now see the word "BEGIN" on your display) for HP-10B. The normal assumption is that CFs...

...DeskJet printers. HP has a plant in Vancouver which customizes DeskJet printers to be localized for the local market. After the manufacturing of DeskJet printers in Vancouver, it is being shipped to Europe for about four to five weeks. And when the products arrive in Europe, the European Distribution Centers found out imbalance in the inventory of the DeskJet. There are too many stocks customized for a particular market and very few for other markets. So in the 90’s, HP faced an Inventory Crisis. The uncertainty of demand made it hard for them to forecast which model to produce. And since they have variety of product because of localization, it is harder to manage inventory. A lead time of four to five weeks also made forecasting a difficult job and it also caused higher safety stocks. Another cause of the crisis is that the people in HP got their noses up. No one wants to talk to the other. There’s a poor communication inside the organization. If they don’t want to ride on a plane to go to Europe or vise versa, they can use Skype, or yahoo messenger or a simple phone call or even a conference using computers. There are so many ways to communicate with people. Another problem is that sometimes there are late shipments. In that late shipments there are also wrong parts it causes delay in the production.
I remember 1 Corinthians 12:12-- the integration of the body as whole. European DCs maybe a different group, Vancouver maybe a...

...Apple Logo Paper

The Apple icon is probably one of the most recognizable logos I can recall. From the rainbow colored version designed by Rob Janoff and implemented in 1976, to the slick silver monochromatic version used today, it clearly conveys the Apple brand without so much as a word spoken about it. With simplicity of design, lack of mentioning the company name in print, its underlying message of “fresh” and an edge of anarchy, Apple clearly achieved what few companies have in history. They made us all think of them when we see a silver bitten apple.
I was probably first introduced to Apple in the mid eighties by my techie nerd boyfriend at the time, who absolutely loved computers. It was a toss-up between going with Apple computers or going with the Amiga. Amiga won because it talked. The original Apple emblem included a drawing of Isaac Newton under the proverbial apple tree. The Isaac Newton logo was eliminated about 1 year after the company began, because the logo was considered too complicated, old fashioned, and too difficult to see the details without being so large it was impractical (The Apple Museum, Apple Facts).
The logo, being simple and basic in design, also conveys a fresh approach to...

...Apple Incorporated:
An Analysis
Adit Singh
Business 50.1 Company Research PaperApple Inc.
Technology has taken an uprising since the late 20th century to our world today. Everyone essentially owns some sort of technological device from cellphones to computers. Companies like Microsoft, Xerox and Canon have made our lives simpler and possibly much easier, but there was another company waiting to override the norm and push an industry giant to its limits. Apple Incorporated, followed an unconventional path to its recent success in the computer industry, despite being consistently dominated by Microsoft.
What is the business of this company?
Apple Inc. In its entirety “designs, manufactures, and markets personal computers, portable digital music players, and mobile communications devices and sell a variety of related software, services, peripherals, and networking solutions.” (Annual Report, page 1) One may think these markets are completely covered by the likes of Microsoft, Motorola and possibly a Microsoft owned digital music player. But in reality Apple’s MacBook, iPod, and iPhone are products that not only have a profound effect on the progression of technology available to the average user, but on average have begun to creep up on Microsoft and its market share.
What was the total revenue of this company in 2006? What was the total expenditure of this company in 2005?

...realize one of my greatest journalistic achievements was about to be fulfilled. I had landed a once-in-a-lifetime interview with the C.E.O. of Apple himself, Mr. Steven Paul Jobs, better known as Steve Jobs. I continue thru my daily routine, and leave the house focused and determined to squeeze every ounce of knowledge from this well-known gentleman. The choice for this important setting is the Starbucks on 33rd and 7th Ave. for the interview. I received a tip that Steve loves a good Hot Chocolate. I wait patiently for him to walk in. And just like that…. He walks in. He is dressed identically to all of his Key Note speeches and presentations. Tall, skinny, greyish hair combed slickly down to the back of his neck. I couldn’t help myself but to also notice his “story” filled eyes, glancing at his surroundings as he whispered to his “security” element that he agreed with the setting. Black sweater and blue jeans as usual, with a smooth aftershave like musk surrounding him. I got up from my seat and finally shake hands with “the man”. “Good Morning, and thank you for this surreal opportunity to ask you a few questions throughout your busy schedule”. “No worries young lad” he replies, “It’s my privilege to take time and sit with tomorrow’s youth and figure out what I can do to better build Tomorrow’s Technological advances here at Apple”. “Once again, all I can say is thank you… So why don’t we get started? “Sure thing… I’m ready when you are”...
